Yay so exciting! I loved it when she started measuring my belly and telling me what position baby was in! Is it the first time that you're hearing the heartbeat?

I've got a growth scan on Thursday when I'll be 36 weeks, looking forward to seeing how much my little Squidge has grown but midwife thinks this baby will be smaller than its brother, we'll see!

Yea first time hearing heart beat as they dont do it untill your 25 weeks by me so have had to wait ages so really looking forward to it.

Well i know when she measures my bump shes gna say im bigger than should be but was with my daughter but had growth scans and turned out she was actually smaller rather than bigger she was 6lb 10oz born aiming for similar size baby this time

Robert was 10lb exactly LOL! Midwife thought he was going to be 8lb ish, but she told me that the baby feels smaller this time to her, so maybe I will actually get an 8lber this time LOL. Still got a few weeks to go so here's hoping it doesn't chuck on over 1lb a week LOL

6lb 10oz is a nice diddy size! Robert was huge, and had a double chin and everything when he was born lol! I am hoping for around an 8lb baby this time, I think having given birth to a 10lber, anything less is a bonus but even if baby's 11lb born I'm sure I'll cope LOL.

I heard the heartbeat at 16 weeks with both my babies (same midwife). But I hear that sometimes they don't like to do it til after 20 weeks incase they can't find it and mum gets worried.

OMG hun he was

Well my daughter was diddy but she was with my ex partner my OH now as 2 daughters from a previous relationship and they were 8lb 14oz and 9lb 3oz so im hoping i dont get a big 1 this time i really dont want to think about giving birth to anything over 8lb lol

Im having growth scan at 29 weeks and 34 weeks so atleast will get a rough idea of his size before hand lol

Although i will have a major breakdown if they say hes big lol

If im honest i havent had midwife appointment since 16 weeks any way and she said they will listen to heart beat at my next appointment (being today) im so excited i cant wait leaving work at 1.30pm whoooop
